Purchased this a few months ago for my son's Roku ready TV. Simple to set up. Just connect the stick to the HDMI port on your TV and follow on-screen instructions for set up. Once set up, log into Roku to add your device. You'll have hundreds of channels to choose from, many which are free. We signed up for Netflix and HuluPlus. Plus we have Pandora and Amazon Cloud player for all our music. It's awesome!
I purchased the Streaming stick a number of weeks ago. In general, I like it very much, but it is hard to determine which channels have a fee and those that don't. In addition, Roku does not have MaxGo available and it does not have Direct TV listed for some of the channels that require an existing provider.
I got this product along with the Roku 3. The Roku 3 works great (so does the stick) but the WiFi in the streaming stick could be better. Probably with the next version it will be.
I have an older Roku SX. It works well but wanted to add another tv in the bedroom. So, I bought the stick. It is wonderful. Extremely easy to install and use. I may drop cable on this tv since I have all the choices I need with my Roku. They have added more channels, there are lots of free alternative . It works well with my wi-fi too. Can't say enough things about this product!
I've had this for a short bit but can say that it works just as well as my Roku3, no problems or issues. It pretty much has the identical feature set and takes up zero space. Work very well and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again or if I needed one for an additional tv.
